About the Contests

Hi guys, it's me, Dawn! I organize both the Haunt Your Home & the Festival of Lights contests every year. They are actually the main reason I started this website in the first place. The contests are not affiliated with or sponsored by anyone but me.

Thanks for joining in and helping make the neighborhood so much fun each year!
